The Lidfest is an annual act of incredible lidness, organized by the World
Wide Young Contesters (WWYC).
Date, Time
26th December 2007, 20:04-21:17 UTC
Bands
80m CW (limited to 3540 - 3545 kHz!), 2m FM
Categories
Single Operator
Married Operator (please no cheating here!)
No power categories, but QRP stations are sanctioned with a 100 point
penalty.
Exchange
RST + 5 letter code
This 5 letter code is the exchange you received from the previous stations,
except for the first QSO where you have to make up something yourself.
Allowed characters: A-Z, 0-9.
QSY rule
The CQing station has to QSY from the frequency by at least 1kHz after a
successful QSO.
QSO points
A valid QSO on 80m with your own continent counts for 1 point, DX 3 points.
A valid QSO on 2m FM leads to instant disqualification.
The contest is divided in 10 minute periods. Every station can be worked
once per period for credit.
QSOs via EME, Meteoscatter or Echolink do not count.
Multipliers
None.
Final score
Sum of QSO points, plus bonus:
2 points for each DX cluster spot (during the contest) indicating poor
operating practice ("LID", "no ears", "deaf as a rock", ...);
4 points for a TVI or BCI complaint during the contest (written evidence);
17 points if all QSOs were made using whistled CW, with a spark gap
transmitter or two pieces of unisolated wire;
50 points for the destruction of your PA's finals;
100 points if the contest was operated from an extraterrestrial location,
including but not limited to the moon, Mars, Venus, the Sun, Saturn or
Finland.
200 points if your callsign suffix is "LID".
Log
Use any logger, set up for "IARU HF World championship" and note your
initial 5-letter code and the claimed bonus points in the cabrillo summary.
The contest sponsor will calculate your final score. Send logs to Fablid:

Prices
Everyone is a winner. The winner with the highest number of points may
proudly call himself the "Lid of the Year".
